Sustainable degradation of carbon tetrafluoride to non-corrosive useful products by incorporating reduced electron mediator within electro-scrubbing

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The degradation of CF4 gas using existing technologies produces other types of greenhouse gas (CO2) and corrosive side products. The main aim of this study is to degrade CF4 gas at room temperature into useful products without producing corrosive side products by mediated electrochemical reduction (MER) process using an electrogenerated Cu1+[Ni2+(CN)4]1− mediator. Initial studies on the electrolytic reduction of the hetero-bimetallic complex in catholyte solution at anodized Ti cathode was monitored by oxidation/reduction potential (ORP) variation whether the Cu2+ or Ni2+ was reduced in the Cu2+[Ni2+(CN)4] and confirmed by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy the Cu1+[Ni2+(CN)4]1− formation. The concentration variation of Cu1+[Ni2+(CN)4]1− during CF4 injection demonstrated the degradation of CF4 followed the MER by electrogenerated Cu1+[Ni2+(CN)4]1−. Maximum removal efficiency of CF4 using electroscrubbing process was 96% at room temperature. Through the variation in gas phase parameters, the gas phase mass transfer coefficient was calculated that can facilitate scale up the developed process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis in both the gas and solution phases showed that CH3CH2OH was the main product that formed during the removal of CF4 by electrogenerated Cu1+[Ni2+(CN)4]1− at electroscrubber along with a small amount of CF3CH3 intermediate. Importantly, this mechanism also avoided formation of the corrosive product HF.
